(Bloomberg) -- Malaysia’s Perisai Petroleum Teknologi Bhd. will earmark about $20 million out of a financing package it is close to securing and offer it as part of an ”alternative proposal” to investors after failing to reach agreement with them to restructure a bond due Monday.
The sum is part of an ”indicative financing package” the offshore oil rig contractor and its joint venture partner EMAS Offshore Ltd have received from a financial institution, the company said in a filing early Tuesday.
”Part of the amount from the indicative offer would be earmarked towards a mutually acceptable resolution with the company’s noteholders with regards the notes through the availability to the Perisai Group of a sum of approximately $20 million,” Perisai said.
On Monday, Perisai bondholders voted against the company’s proposal to extend the maturity of its S$125 million ($92 million) bond to Feb. 3, 2017.
Perisai Petroleum said it is working with EMAS Offshore ”towards resolving various issues” in order to secure a formal letter of offer from the financial institution. The discussions also include a put option granted by EMAS to Perisai over the latter’s 51 percent stake in their SJR Marine Ltd venture.
EMAS also owns 11.8 percent in Perisai.
